Thanks for starting that page off Jono. Rather than writing a new "dispatcher" I think it might be a good idea to amend our existing buildd-manager to do these branch jobs, so that we can use the existing build farm. I'm vastly simplifying here, but all we need to do is make a "branch job" chroot for that type of job. We currently have unsigned uploads when the buildd-manager uploads binaries and this could be extended to sources coming from the branch jobs. The only issue I can think of is the lack of a dsc file signature. Even if we did sign it with an LP signature, I'm not sure how meaningful that would be since we trust our build farm anyway. It seems prudent to audit our code to see how much of it makes assumptions around dsc signing (I can think of a few). This will be a really cool feature when done! _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
